It’s Saturday – yeah! I’m putting the finishing touches on a story for submission today. Wish me luck! 
Here’s a snippet from “More Than a Suit: John”, published by JMS Books. It’s between John–the main character–and Tobie, his best friend.
—
“Since when do you let someone else’s opinion define you?” [Tobie]
“Well, since I realized that the world thinks I’m a self-centered, good for nothing, simple-minded slut.” [John]
“You are not! Well, maybe a little slutty, but you’re harmless. Who do I have to beat up?” Tobie tried to flex his slender frame to be intimidating. Sweet, but not helping.
“Back down, Mini-Me. Thanks, but I’ll be fine. I’ll work through this.” [John]
“You’d better. I miss my sleepy-eyed, over-caffeinated, ass whisperer.” [Tobie]
“Up yours, hon.” [John]
“Got it covered, thanks.” [Tobie]
